Flower Fables Louisa May Alcott

Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Stories originally written for Ellen Emerson, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Flower Fables was the first work published by Louisa May Alcott and appeared on December 9, 1854. The book was a compilation of fanciful stories first written six years earlier for Ellen Emerson (daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson). The book was published in an edition of 1600 and though Alcott thought it "sold very well," she received only about $35 from the Boston publisher, George Briggs. A beautiful set of fables, delivered as campfire tales from a fairy get-together, each setting a good example to young impressionable minds. The tales are tales of fairies and flowers and children, of bees and insects and creatures of woods and gardens and sea. They all are different tales, but all of them agree on morals, how one should be happy, kind, patient and gentle. The basic theme running through all of them is to live honest and true and be nice to other people, even in the overwhelming face of negativity and seemingly insurmountable challenges, and when the chips are down, whatever you do, don't give up!
